Fair.

I guess it depends what becomes the ‘norm.’ Thing about any GenAI service is it’s not free. It’s not even ‘cheap’ like streaming video or images en masse is; every generation is tailored and costs cloud money.

And Apple seems rather hell bent on pushing beefy hardware to basically half of all people in the western world. A few generations of iPhone and software can absolutely get that confluence of ‘real-time voice synth, recognition, dialogue, and video’ like you describe, and there are fundamental cloud issues going beyond that: game-like, local pornagraphy ‘virtual reality’ is much better done (at least partially) on device, because of how hard game streaming is.

…But you still make good points. It could go either way.

I mean, people can get static pornography now in essentially unbounded quantities on the Internet; It is in immense quantity; if someone spent their entire lives going through it, they’d never, ever see even a tiny fraction of it.

On this specifically, TONS of people have no idea how to use a browser. Dare I say most, these days? Their whole internet is what’s availible through algorithmic recommendations on app stores, hence this ‘sea’ of static pornography might be more limited than you’d think.

There’s also, apparently, a huge demand for basic interactivity, hence the unreasonable popularity of OnlyFans. And OF-type interactivity is quite crap if you ask me.
